Rodrigo Bonifácio da Rocha, nicknamed Tiuí (born December 4, 1985 in Taboão da Serra, São Paulo, Brazil), is a football striker, who currently plays in Portugal for Sporting Clube de Portugal.

At Fluminense Football Club, Tiuí broke into the first team at the age of 18. In his first full season, he scored 6 goals in 18 games, but only managed to find the net on 3 occasions the following one, having appeared in 28 league contests.

The next season Tiuí went on loan to Esporte Clube Noroeste, playing a total of 20 games with 8 goals. In that season, he also had a loan stint with Santos Futebol Clube, playing 29 games and scoring 6 times.

He moved to Sporting in January 2008, after his contract with Fluminense expired. Tiuí's debut for the "lions" came on February 3, in a 1-0 away loss to CF Os Belenenses. In one rare start, in the Portuguese classic against SL Benfica, he provided the assist in Simon Vukcevic's goal, as the derby finished 1-1.

On May 11, 2008, Tiuí scored his only league goal, against Boavista FC, in Sporting's last 2007/08 game, with the win guaranteeing the second league place and a direct UEFA Champions League spot. A week later, he came from the bench to score twice, in Sporting's 2-0 2007-08 Portuguese Cup final victory over Futebol Clube do Porto.
